CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 30, 2023
THE DEBATE TONIGHT NIGHT ON FOX NEWS CHANNEL BETWEEN DEMOCRATIC CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM AND FLORIDA REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS – ONE AN UNDECLARED PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE AND THE OTHER RUNNING FOR THE WHITE HOUSE – WILL GIVE VOTERS SOME RELIEF FROM THE NASTY RHETORIC AND LEGAL PROBLEMS OF DONALD TRUMP AND THE INARTICULATE AND CONFUSED STATEMENTS BY PRESIDENT BIDEN.
IT MAY NOT MOVE THE NEEDLE FOR DESANTIS’ CANDIDACY, BUT IT WILL SHOW VOTERS THERE ARE OTHER VOICES WORTH HEARING.
COUNT ON DESANTIS TO GO AFTER CALIFORNIA’S TERRIBLE RECORD ON HOMLESSNESS, FILTHY STREETS, LOOTERS, DRUGS, TAXES AND THE EXODUS OF MANY CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS TO LOWER TAX STATES.
NEWSOM WILL LIKELY ATTACK DESANTIS FOR HIS SO-CALLED “DON’T SAY GAY” BILL, HIS POOR POSITION IN THE POLLS, EVEN IN FLORIDA, AND HIS SUPPORT OF RESTRICTIONS ON ABORTION. IRONICALLY, NEWSOM RAN AN ATTACK AD LAST SUNDAY CALLED “WANTED.” THE WORD HAS A DOUBLE MEANING BECAUSE MOST BABIES ARE WANTED AND EVEN THOSE THAT AREN’T CAN FIND A HOME WHEN WE HAVE A CULTURE OF LIFE.
SO GRAB THE POPCORN. THESE ARE TWO MEN AT THE TOP OF THEIR GAME. COULD BE MUST-SEE-TV. I’M CAL THOMAS
